EDIT: CAMRA defines perry and pear cider as quite different drinks, stating that "pear cider" as made by the large industrial cidermakers is merely a pear-flavoured drink, or more specifically a cider-style drink flavoured with pear concentrate, whereas "perry" should be made by traditional methods from perry pears only

"...pre-drinks before going out. "

seems like a good way to kick off a night out :lol:

Wow, you guys are serious drinkers. 22.5 units before you go to the pub!

CAMRA might define that and I may be sceptical, but hard to believe this stuff is made by traditional methods I'm afraid.

agreed, i was merely stating what the difference was. Most people probably wouldnt know the difference anyways. And there are a few 'pear ciders' that should rightly be known as perry anyway!

Personally at the price of this I'd try it though, like micoo said if not good for pre-night out drinks.and yes ive been known to knock back 15 units (35cl vodka) before going out :oops:

Hardly drink nowadays though, so its all balanced out! :thumbsup::whistling:

this isnt bad stuff, perfect for camping, festivals etc., always stock up over the summer. asda do this too for same price and le soleil medium sweet and medium dry for £5.08, its really gone up in price since last summer and year before tho!! definately best served chill if you can!!!

ps. never seem to get a hangover off perry!!

Country Manor!

I didn't realise they still made this stuff, i'm going to get a couple of baxes in as I have a couple of doors to strip when the weather gets better

I used to love this a year or two ago, cheap as anything and great to get drunk on, but now i can't stand it!!!!

ASDA have a similar brand of "Le Sol" which is now £3.99 (was£3.49 a few months back).

Both these brands are great and good for house parties.

from memory I think it's 7.5% abv.

Terrible stuff... best drunk in pint glasses IMO - not good enough for a smaller glass as you tend to sup it quickly.

Wouldnt dream of having this out at a party - credibility rating would be slaughtered.

Horrible stuff, i wouldn't buy it even at this price.

Yeah best used for playing 'ring of fire'

Excellent price. Good on it's own or used as a mixer. One good thing is you can cut it out of the cardboard box and smuggle it into work or the football.

use to buy this a couple of years ago when it was less than £4 surprisingly good to say it's in the same category as Lambrini. Please don't slate it until you've tried it.

Try stitching it into your underpants and getting on a flight - much better than buying drinks on Easyjet!
